The Case of The Disappearing Friend

Post your thoughts here. If you want a reply email me at [e-mail]. I look forward to hearing from you.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re "drifting" from your community or faith, this story proves you aren't alone. Here is a fascinating deep dive into history that ends with a powerful reminder to check in on the people you miss. Just like the mystery of Amelia Earhart, one of Jesus’ inner circle—Simon the Zealot—completely vanished from the pages of history.

• From Rebel to Ghost: Simon started as a "Zealot" (potentially a radical political rebel) but after the "spectacular" event of Pentecost, he goes into "radio silence."
• Gruesome Legends: Did he preach in Britain? Was he sawn in half in Persia? 🪚 Legend says he was martyred in some of the most intense ways imaginable.
• The "Why" of Disappearing: We all have friends who stop replying to social media or "disappear" from our lives. Usually, it’s not because they don't care—it's just that life, timing, and energy changed.
• The Search: Just as a shepherd looks for one lost sheep, we’re reminded that it’s never too late to reconnect with old friends or our own faith.
